THE BOAT IS A 1997 CONTENDER 23 OPEN WITH TWIN 1997 YAMAHA OX66 150HP ENGINES. BOTH ENGINES HAVE LOW HOURS AND HIGH COMPRESSION, THE COMPRESSION IS EVEN ACROSS ALL 12 CYLINDERS. THEY HAVE BOTH BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY. NEW WATER PUMPS, LOWER UNIT OIL, SPARK PLUGS, ETC AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR AND SOMETIMES MORE DEPENDING ON USAGE. THE BOAT DOES COME WITH A DEPTH SOUNDER/ FISH FINDER, AND VHF, DOES NOT HAVE A BUILT IN GPS AS WE USE A HAND HELD. WITH THIS CONSOLE YOU CAN EASILY ADD A 5-12' DEPENDING ON YOUR WANTS AND NEEDS.

THIS BOAT HAS THE MAJORITY OF ITS HOURS IN FRESH WATER INSTEAD OF SALT WATER. WE USE IT ON A FRESH WATER RIVER EVERY WEEKEND AND FISH ONLY A HANDFUL OF TIEMS A YEAR.

NEW PARTS:

WITHIN THE PAST 6 MONTHS I HAVE CHANGED THE FILL AS WELL AS RECIRCULATING PUMP FOR THE LIVE WELL, LOW UNIT OIL, WATER PUMPS, AND THE DASH SWITCHES.

IN THE PAST MONTH I HAVE INSTALLED A NEW WASH DOWN PUMP (60 PSI, 4.0 GPM), SPARK PLUGS, ROD GROMMETS, FLOOR HATCH LATCHES (WITH LOCKS), NAVIGATION LIGHT, BRAND NEW 6.5' SPEAKERS, NEW AMP FOR THESE SPEAKERS, ALL OF THE VINYL IN THE BOAT REDONE, AS WELL AS HAD THE BOAT POLISHED AND WAXED FOR THE UPCOMING FISHING SEASON.

ADDITIONS:

I HAVE ADDED COLOR CHANGING (RGB LEDS) LIGHTS UNDER THE GUNNELS FOR EFFECT AS WELL AS MAKING THE BOAT MORE FISHABLE AT NIGHT WITHOUT IMPAIRING YOUR NIGHT VISION. THESE LIGHTS ARE CONTROLLER BY A SMALL RF CONTROLLER, THIS CONTROLLER WILL WORK UP TO 50FT AWAY FROM THE BOAT. ALSO ADDED WERE THREE COASTAL NIGHT LIGHTS S MODEL UNDERWATER LED'S. THESE LED'S ARE AMAZINGLY BRIGHT, THEY LOOK GREAT BUT EVEN BETTER THEY ATTRACT BAIT FISH.

THE BOAT DOES HAVE 17 VERTICAL ROD HOLDERS AS WELL AS 12 HORIZONTAL ROD HOLDER (SIDE ROD BOXES) FOR A TOTAL OF 29.

TRAILER:

THE TRAILER IS A 1997 MAGIC TRAIL ALUMINUM I-BEAM. DUAL AXLE. NEW TIRES (LESS THAN 600 MILES). NEW LED LIGHTS. NEW LED SIDE LIGHTS. SPARE TIRE CARRIER. BRAND-NEW SPARE TIRE.

THE BOAT LOOKS GREAT, RUNS BETTER, AND HAS A TON OF NEW PARTS. SHE IS READY TO FISH, RIDE OR WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO DO. I AM MORE THAN WILLING TO SEA TRIAL OR COMPRESSION TEST THE ENGINES. I HAVE THE UTMOST CONFIDENCE IN THESE MOTORS. THE BOAT GENERALLY GETS ANY WHERE FROM 2-2.25 DEPENDING ON CONDITIONS AND LOAD. EX. WITH 8 PEOPLE AND 3 ICE CHESTS WE WERE GETTING 2MPG @ 36 MPH @4000 RPMS.

THIS BOAT IS READY FOR THE RAPIDLY APPROACHING RED SNAPPER SEASON.
